Bela Lugosi Meets Edna St. Vincent Millay

Written by Jordan R. Young. Directed by Christine Cummings. Performed by Rose London.
Famed actor Bela Lugosi (1882-1956) and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) had a number of things in common: Both achieved international recognition during their lifetimes for their respective artistic endeavors, both were charismatic, both had active romantic lives, both were prominent social activists, and both struggled with drug addiction at the end of their lives.
